We thus learn that the Belgian does not provide for a system of fines. However, Bayen players are not free to do anything. Anyone who arrives late for training is forced to stay at the center until Vincent Kompany leaves. When we know that training ends at 1 p.m. at the latest but the coach stays in the offices until 4 or even 5 p.m…. This leaves time for the incriminated players to do muscle strengthening in the gym or to be monitored by video analysts.
“I really enjoy being in this crisis”: three games without a victory for Vincent Kompany but Bayern Munich is not worried
Concerning group video analyses, anyone who shows up late will simply no longer be able to enter the room. Because there is no question for Kompany to interrupt his analysis.
Finally, when it comes to match day selections, the Belgian also has his own way of doing things. He never writes the names of the players on a board or a sheet in the locker room. Kompany prioritizes communication on the team’s WhatsApp group. And before revealing his list, the ex-Anderlecht player always makes sure to make a phone call – or have a personal conversation – with an unselected player, in order to explain the reasons for his choice.
According to the German press, these rules put in place by the Belgian coach are pleasing because they demonstrate humanity. This would therefore promote the atmosphere within the group.
